Well guys, took it for a test drive. Loved it and I got the price down to £8500 so I could'nt refuse also got a service thrown in to.
I tried looking for some Clios but ones on sale near me are around 5 years old with quite a bit of mileage, there was a 2 year old Clio 197 which looked pretty nice but out of my price range + insurance would be high.
Yes it may not be as fast or powerful as some alternatives but it's not just about that, it feels and looks like a brand new car and I am happy with my purchase, just have to wait a week now before I can finally get my hands on it.
Thanks for tips!
